Much as been made of the Raptors’ three-point shooting this season and how they’d become one of the best long-distance shooting teams in the league, second only to the Detroit Pistons in long-range efficiency.
Sit back and watch us, said the Houston Rockets.
With a devastating display of long-range shooting — hardly any of it involving the gifted James Harden — the Rockets handed the Raptors their second straight home defeat, 119-109 at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night.
Houston made 22 three-pointers, close to their NBA single-game record of 27, and their 66-36 scoring advantage from beyond the arc was too much for Toronto to overcome.
